It was a truly magical experience. It was so magical, in fact, that I considered commuting to DC from New Haven so that I wouldn't have to take the kids out. The teachers are beyond wonderful, and deeply committed to fostering a love of learning through play. They also had the most epic healthy, home cooked food program. The kids play outside in all weather and really learn to embrace nature, and the teachers cater the programming to their curiosities and interests (we had a whole segment on bats :). All in all, this was a truly formative experience and we miss our Alphabet friends so much!

My family has been very happy with our choice in childcare. The teachers and administrators really care about the kids and provide an environment that is not only safe and warm but creative and challenging. We love the emphasis on fresh, natural foods (all food is provided/included, which is SO convenient) and outdoor play. They also do a very cool "Summer camp" program where the kids have outdoor/water play all morning every day, and the preschool/pre-K kids have several field trips. There are also occasional "bonus" events such as an end-of-summer family party and Christmas-time pajama party for the kids. I will be honest, it's not cheap, but as with all things you get what you pay for!

The staff always greet us with a positive attitude, and it's clear they genuinely care about every kid. Their patience, dedication, and communication through the Brightwheel app have given us confidence that he's in great hands. Our son has learned so much, from surprising us by counting to 10 (without us ever covering numbers) to developing strong social skills and friendships with kids he's known since he was an infant. It's been wonderful seeing those friendships continue through birthday parties outside of daycare. We also appreciate the variety of activities beyond the daily curriculum. He is loving the summer camp program, and it's obvious the staff put a lot of effort into making every day fun. The biggest reason we recommend Over the Rainbow is simple: every morning, he runs into the building and is excited to be there. We look forward to another great school year!

My daughter is now 3 1/2 years old and has been attending since she was just 3 months old. Over the years, I've never had a negative experience with any of the teachers or staff she's had the privilege of knowing. As a mom, there's no greater comfort than knowing your child is surrounded by so many caring adults. It truly feels like she has a second family there, and that's something I could never provide on my own. The amount she has learned amazes me. Almost every day she comes home with new vocabulary, funny expressions, better manners, and new skills. Even learning to share has been something she's picked up there. Watching her confidence and independence grow has been incredible. One of my favorite parts of Over the Rainbow is the communication. I love receiving photos throughout the day, and it's always easy to reach her teachers when I have a question. I also appreciate how much effort they put into family events. While I can't always attend because of work, they're always thoughtful and well organized. The kindergarten graduation ceremony was by far the sweetest event I've attended--it was so clear how much the staff genuinely love and care about the children. It honestly makes me sad knowing my daughter won't be there much longer. These early years are so important, and I'm incredibly grateful for the role Over the Rainbow has played in helping shape the kind, curious, and caring little girl she's becoming. I would wholeheartedly recommend Over the Rainbow to any family looking for a safe, loving, and nurturing place for their child.

My sitter went out of town for a month long summer vacation and I needed care quick (I didn't even utilize that care anymore after enrolling him with Happy feet)! I'm always apprehensive to leave my child with anyone, but she immediately invited me over to see where my child would be and to meet her. She was very warm and welcoming. She's a mom, it's very apparent that she cares for your child the way she cares for her own 2! She was flexible with my awful work hours, and always had a briefing for me as to what my son ate and did for the day. I'm SO DISTRAUGHT that I'm relocating! Now I have to find someone as fantastic as she is. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Relocating without family will be hard and having nice people around my kids just became an expected rarity in CT. Hopefully, any other daycare I call isn't like Sunnyside.

Ms. Lori, the Director and Ms. Candace, Asst. Director has created a safe and nurturing environment at their school. Mr. James and Ms. Sabrina are my daughters main teachers and they both provide such great direction for children to learn and grow their skills. There is also Ms. Alicia, who comes in and helps when needed and she is also great. It's so many excellent teachers that also help with early drop off and late pickup. You not only feel confident for your child's development and safety, but you also gain an amazing family community as part of this school. My daughter has attended Tender Care Learning since October 2015 and it has honestly been one of the best decisions so far because she's learned so much and is already prepared for kindergarten. The preschool's well rounded social skills, personal responsibility, and academics are only a few of the excellent areas your child will develop when attending Tender Care Learning. You feel so grateful to have your child learn and grow at Tender Care Learning plus to know they are in good hands and safe. I know my daughter will always greet me with a big smile every time I pick her up and want to show me what she's learned during her day. Her teachers are always there to tell me about her daily activities and anything else. They are truly a professional team. They keep their classrooms with a small group of students, so the teacher to student ratio is great. You will feel so happy your child is a part of such a great school/learning environment each day. We will be heading to kindergarten this Fall and will truly miss our Tender Care Learning Family.
